Hi,

My name is Hendrik Mennen and I want to open a RFC for the <?php / ?> tags to be optional and not mandatory anymore.

My Github Handle is: hmennen90

I opened already a pre-rfc discussion for this topic: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/131024

Regards,

Hendrik

Has there been a discussion about this already in the mailing list? What
does it mean to be optional? If you haven't started a discussion yet, first
do that and then open RFC once the details are fleshed out.

Can you let me know what your Wiki username is? If you don't have one
yet, please create an account so I can grant you the necessary karma.

For the record: Henrik has followed up with the new username in private
(hmennen). RFC karma was granted.

Good luck with the RFC!
